A crossover anime, where people are in Classroom of the Imaginary Era, and behind the scenes, the ki

"Huh—? Is that so?"

"But I'm really just new here and wanted to ask for directions! You're being so cold, senior!"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked at her noncommittally.

Just like how he was able to spot the unusual presence of Horikita Suzune and Suwei, who had both participated in the Black Ball exam, without having any substantial information.

At that moment, he also saw through the incongruity that the girl in front of him was trying so hard to hide beneath her sweet appearance.

Not to mention, on such a vast campus, and on this weekend.

The other party was impartial, but specifically chose him, a marginalized member of Class D who had "no presence," to ask for directions.

This in itself is the biggest anomaly.

'Were they acting under orders? Or... were they sent from somewhere?'

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji made his decision in his mind.

Just as I was about to speak, I followed the other person's line of dialogue to conduct another round of verbal probing, in order to find out what the other person was really like.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Honami Ichinose and Asako Amakura appearing in his line of sight, walking hurriedly.

Now that the main character has arrived, it would be unwise to cause any more trouble.

then.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji swallowed back his probing words, slightly raised his chin, and calmly changed his tone, saying:

"As for Ichinose..."

"Right behind you."

Book 1: Chapter 58 Mutual Testing

I couldn't find Tianze Yixia at the agreed-upon welcome location, and my messages on Line went unanswered for a long time.

Left with no other option, Honami Ichinose had to pull out her phone.

Thanks to the information she had previously exchanged with Nan Yunya, she knew that the school-provided mobile phones had a feature that allowed users to share their location after adding friends.

When she and Asako Amakura finally arrived and found Ayanokouji standing in front of Ichika Amasawa with striking red twin tails, they both forgot to react.

"Ichinose..."

Standing beside her, Asako Amakura frowned slightly and lowered her voice, saying, "Judging from Ayanokouji's expression, she doesn't seem to know him. Could it be that Sakayanagi Arisu was right, and this transfer student... came with some kind of purpose or mission?"

Hearing her friend's concerns, Honami Ichinose snapped out of her brief shock.

She gently shook her head and said:

"Until there is solid evidence, let's just treat her as an ordinary student who knows nothing."

"Just like Kushida said, when faced with that unreasonable monster, we need to unite all the forces that can be united. We cannot push our comrades to the opposite side because of unfounded suspicion."

NetWarehouse Mako opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

She knew Ichinose's personality and understood that, at the moment, this might be the only way to maintain trust within the team.

At that moment, Amazusa Ichika, who was not far away, seemed to have noticed the two people in the area, following Ayanokouji's gaze.

"what!"

The girl seemed to only then realize what was happening, and jogged closer.

She stopped just a step away from Ichinose, tiptoeing slightly, her watery eyes filled with apology:

"Sorry, senior~"

"I just finished the formalities at the office building and ran into a former 'senior' and we chatted for a while. I didn't expect you guys to arrive so quickly... I thought I would make it in time."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose was slightly taken aback:

"Senior...? Could it be that you repeated a year, Tianze?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who was standing not far away, was equally surprised.

However, unlike Ichinose's literal understanding, Ayanokouji grasped the deeper meaning behind the words.

'A former senior?'

This was practically announcing to him openly that he came from the White House.

But he knew very well that he was the only one among the fourth cohort to survive and graduate.

Therefore, the girl in front of us must be from the fourth period or later.

This does explain the frivolous attitude that showed no respect when facing him.

but......

Why would someone deliberately reveal their identity and pinpoint him so precisely right from the start?

Surely it couldn't be that the man sent her here just to force her to drop out of school, could it? That would be incredibly stupid.

As his thoughts raced, Ayanokouji suddenly recalled Chabashira Sae's earlier suggestion.
